Production Nouvolo Steck - SFF 8.7-11.2L ITX PC Case, supports liquid cooling

[macbosco]

OK I will send out invoices earlier to all those replied these couple days. There are couple who haven't replied, those slots will be given to others down the line if I don't hear from them by 31 Oct.

So for those who signed up for black, there is still a chance.

Edit: ALL invoices sent, 2 black ones not yet replied, sit tight for re-allocation later

Oh wow! Maybe I can get this over the Louqe ghost s1. I wonder if the top hat can be placed below?

Yes, it can be installed at the bottom.

I wish I had signed up for a test drive with this thing. I love sff cases as I currently have Dan case a4 sfx with 240mm aio. But I need a real case that can house the aio.

I googled it for you. Luckily EVGA has a spec page showing dimensions. https://www.evga.com/products/specs/gpu.aspx?pn=1190fbf7-7f11-465d-b303-cab0e50fbdc6. That EVGA is cutting it close at 299mm

I have designed a stackable unit for AIO coolers (240 cooler x1 OR 120 cooler + HDD tray) plus possibly USB connections. It uses compatible brackets as the main unit. As design of this case is symmetrical the stackable unit can fit top or bottom with no issues. I will complete design of the holes and grills for the holding tray.

The 4 sides of the hollow shaped stack unit will be welded together using plates. I suspect this maybe cheaper than aluminum extrusion? Your experience and information is appreciated. Furthermore, I suspect that for higher/taller dimensions there are issues with shrinking and twisting around the waist from extrusion, and thus increase failure rate and wastage.

My plan is to have all parts to be prototype at the same time, so to avoid any issues at a later stage.

This answered my question. Awesome. I feel that it might be better airflow through the internals. Looks like I have to wait till next year. Can’t wait.

Do you have one estimated shipping date for the tester batch?

Should be shipped out from Hong Kong before mid Nov. Will all be sent out via DHL/Fedex, so it should arrive before the end of Nov. Ideally get them shipped out in the 1st week of Nov.

Do I have another question: The GPU is still easily removable when everything is assembled? Oh man, I am so impatient!

 

[Hifihedgehog]

Whew. Thanks for the timeline update. At least I have a little bit of time left to RMA my motherboard, something that came out of left field this last couple of weeks. In trying to figure out why my BIOS settings weren't all taking, the BIOS chip got trashed in an reflashing attempt. This made sense since it was flaky to begin with, where it would not recover with a CMOS clear. Besides, the BIOS was already on its last legs anyway and it was a miracle that it survived the other flash attempts when more and more problems began to crop up. Fortunately, ASRock stepped up to the plate and will replace the whole shebang, completely free of charge. I just hope they have an expedited shipping option so I can get this back zippy and on-time.

Very good question, just remember whenever you seem to be stuck with GPU, unscrew the riser card. This should give it more room to manouvre. Ultimately detach front panel then you have one end completely free.
